FrontierVille Storage Shed: Everything you need to know

There's s a new way to keep your homestead from getting too cluttered. No, it's not the sassy dames from the BBC's 'How Clean is Your House' or your mommy dearest -- it's a new FrontierVille Storage shed that will hold up to 20 decoration items.

Before you get too excited, you can't just go buy the shed and start storing stuff like you're some kind of squirrel getting prepped for winter. You will actually have to put in some digital elbow grease (figuratively and literally) to get the job done.

To get started, head to the in-game market and purchase the Storage Shed frame. You can find it under the Buildings tab in the Market. The frame costs 20,000 coins and 20 wood, and once you place it on your property, you'll have to spend 10 energy and a total of 100 pieces of wood to whack it.

Once all of the whacking is done, then you'll have to start collecting materials to complete the building. You'll have to collect 35 items in all, a list which consists of the following:

5 Windows

5 Cement

5 Pegs

5 Mallets

5 Singles

10 Elbow Grease

These materials can be acquired by requesting them from friends, and that is the only way you can get these materials right now -- you can't buy them in the store and they are also not available for everyone to send items as free gifts. That means that unless you have very active neighbors, building this shed could be quite difficult. Hopefully this will change over the next few days.

There's a new achievement that comes along with the Storage Shed -- the 'Saving Space' achievement. To complete this achievement, you will have to build the storage shed, customize it and buy one farm rake from the market (which costs 2,000 coins and 5 wood, located under Decorations in the market).

I haven't finished my shed yet, mostly because the only way you can get the materials needed is by begging friends, there is no option to buy them in the store (not yet, at least). Here's the rest of the details from the official FrontierVille forums:
